This is another 'literacy' to add to your list of literacies. In this post, 'learning literacy' means something like 'knowing how to learn', though I would think there is an affective element as well, something along the lines of 'being willing to relearn'. The author frames learning literacy as an imperative: "For many workers, it's upskill, reskill or be left behind." What being 'left behind' varies from society to society; in some, it's an opportunity to pursue a secondary interest or perhaps try to start a business, while in others it means the loss of health care and other social supports. I've always felt learning should be something you want to do, not some sort of servitude, but obviously not everybody agrees.
